The Black Sheep Cafe

For affordable french cuisine, check this place out!

What a little hidden gem! Good classic French good (and curiously, also Briyani!) and the fifth star is for its affordability. Really decent prices.
The duck confit was delicious and really well done. Good flavour, moist meat, crispy skin.
Actually there was no bad note to the entire meal — from the bread rolls all the way to dessert (excellent crème brûlée). Give this place a try!
Hardly anyone there at lunch time and easy parking in basement carpark.

I was there with my wife and toddler girl. We made a reservation via hungrygowhere for a party of 2 at 8pm but wasn’t able to make it there until close to 9 due to work commitments. I was surprised to see only 5 tables filled on a Friday evening but it could be because of the late hour coupled with the location.
For apetitizer, we had the baked brie with pistachio. For mains, the duck confit and the cod tempura. We ordered the kahlua soufflé for desserts and I had a Palm Amber beer. All for sharing, of course, in typical Singapore dining style.
The baked brie was really excellent and is a must try. The various flavours on the plate complimented each other very well and we had fun mixing and matching the brie with the sauces and sides. This is a must order for any newcomers to the restaurant.
The duck confit and cod tempura were very well executed. The flavours were typically light but sufficient and they generally work very well with each other within the plate.
The duck confit was flavoured just right for me when I usually find the dish a bit on the saltier side. It also came with a wonderful execution on mash potatoes which, I suspect, used oil fried in shallot as a base. Very flavourful and you cannot help but finish very last bit.
The cod tempura came in a very generous 2 huge pieces portion. The cod is very lightly battered with tempura flour and then pan fried to achieve a very thin and crispy outer layer. The cod remains juicy inside. It was a joy to have the flavours bursting through as you bit down past the crispy layer into the flesh of fish. Very yummy.
The kahlua soufflé came well formed and the wait staff mixed in the freshly squashed passion fruit at the table after it was served. Tasted delicious but as we were both pretty much full after the main courses, we didn’t managed to finished it completely.
The total bill came to just a tad under $ 100 at $ 97.50. Black Sheep Café does not levy service charge and GST.
